Supporting mental health, wellbeing and basic needs
- 30% of children in the UK live in poverty
- 1 in 5 children experience a mental health issue
- 1 in 5 children in the UK are neurodivergent
Our grants tackle the challenges preventing children from thriving, including food poverty, caring responsibilities, bereavement and mental health recovery. Through initiatives such as Pass the Plate and programmes like The Wave Project, we help reduce hunger, isolation and anxiety while building confidence and resilience. Since 1983, we have funded over 100 sensory spaces across the UK and Ireland, investing £4.6 million and supporting more than 202,000 beneficiaries
